At idle, my baja is making kind of a ticking sound, like somthing is loose and vibrating, but i have checked all of my screws, and they all seem good. Any ideas? When i give a lil throttle it goes away.
 
The first thing I'd check is the clutch and bearings. Chances are it goes away as soon as it's engaged.
If it isn't that, it's the bomb under the driver's seat.

Well, there really is no "drivers seat" but I'm the driver, and I'm standing, so i guess the seat would be my ass, and i think i would have noticed if there were a bomb in my ass. If you would remember, i give cavity searches, not recieve them. But it might just be the clutch, or it might have had somthing in it that i could have blown out. Imma head to my local track tommorrow to watch the sled pulls, so maybe ill run it out there and see if i got it with the compressor.
 
Nah, i arrest, and bring them to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, and let them do that there. My hands are clean. Literally.

Take it from someone who's been through the process, it's better to be the searcher.

Neither would be best. :hehe:

And I agree with Charlie. Searcher is the best I think. Though I have never been on the receiving end so I don't really have anything to compare too. LOL
 
maby check to see if any plastic is vibrating on any metal. lol! it may just be the plastic cuffs, the ones that always get crap stuck in em. check and see if thats vibratin on ur roll cage or engine or somethin
 
check the brake disc, they tend to ting between the calipers.

you may also want to check your spark plug boot. a torn boot can allow the spark to jump. I've gotten poked pretty good from a split boot a couple times. lol
